Nice fishing bro
By far my favorite fishing channel. Hope you folks hit your 100k subs very soon!
nice fish....great video...thanks for sharing....love those flex jigs...
Love your videos. More please :)
Good fishing
Couple in the box and a breeder off the starboard, beautiful day. No ice this year so far, maybe I should take the shrinkwrap off.
Very nice video and nice catch.
Nice show Ivo that was a nice walleye at the end of the show. I just can't get over on how clear the water is. I can't wait for the ice shows. Tight lines
I wonder if we'll get ANY ice shows this year! Jackson, MI, coming up on late January and ice is iffy!
mine to
Where do you launch out of? Great video btw!!!
Port Dalhousie or Queenston :)
Greetings from Michigan near Lake Saint Clair,I would love to see you record a video on the Detroit River using your flexy jig,I purchased several of them in different sizes and haven't caught a eye yet casting from shore behind the Post Office building near the Renaissance Center
Hi Jason - here is one of our episodes using the Flexi jig on Detroit river - hope you enjoy it :) th-cam.com/video/9_Lg5s-TeoQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey IVO . . . . nice couple of Walleye for the dinner plate - bu the main attraction was that huge jumbo monster Walleye
that one must of made your day catching it because it would of made me day as well - nice to let it go to live for another
day - oh by the way don't forger to call me for dinner ( lol ) good video as always .
I’m like you Ivo the couple you caught were the perfect eating size. And the last one to release back so someone else can have fun catching it. To me Ivo when they get real big like that last one you caught they don’t taste as good to me the taste is real strong and that works for most species of fish now that’s just my opinion 👍on the video
I'd love to get on the Niagara River some time...tough to beat Eerie for Walleye though. I went on a chartered trip when I was a kid and pulled in 33" Walleye...and it wasn't even the biggest of the day from our group. Someone nearly got the Ontario record...there was also two Rainbows of decent size and a massive female Brown Trout. And at the end of the day, the charter service returned a portion of our money because "it was a slow day and not many fish"...the live-well was stacked to the legal limit lol My grand father who took me on the charter also took my cousin about a month before and they literally were getting hundreds of fish in the boat...so compared to that I guess it was a slow day? lol They just trolled Walleye Divers way out on planer boards...seemed to do the trick.
Makes me wanna cry watching him let go of the third walleye!😭😭😭 LMAO! Amazing Fishermen!
Very effective lure,wonder if that would work good in the Oswego River.
...sure will :)
Hi , thanks for video. I live in this region and recently started fishing w my boat in the river. Question / With this technique work without anchoring my boat in Niagara River?
yes - it will definitely work without anchoring :)
Ivo I want to bring my fiancé up so we can fish with you some time! We are taking a trip to Lake Erie and lake Oneida in the fall!
Hey Ivo, I get making shows then releasing them in the winter, but it would be great if you included the time of year and water temperature in the description. Also, it would be great to know what kind of anchor you use in the heavy current of the Niagara River. Even a video segment of how you anchor up in the river would be beneficial. Great video!
Thanks for the feedback - I always try to share as much as I can in each video and BTW, I was using my spot-lock feature in order to anchor :)
Thanks Ivo and Jeff! I agree: time of year and temp would be great as an "always" feature.
@@thundermistlures thanks for writing in
@@thundermistlures hahahahahaha...he used his spot lock feature. Wonder if he is getting paid by Minn Kota..? Spot lock is still a pile of junk!! Ours whips you around like a bucking bronco!
Our saying is if you get a hit make sure Spot Lock is OFF. You'll lose it for sure as it will toss you off the boat. Even in calm current with both the wind and the current in the same direction...TRUE STORY.
Where can I find those straight tail plastics and what size? Thanks love your videos!!!!
3 1/2 inch or 4 inch and most of the larger chain stores should have them, otherwise, there is always Amazon :)
Do you cast it out to say 9 o'clock and hop it to 6 o'clock then start all over ?
Yes- that will work :)
Ounce bounce in the D. Water levels are too high for 3/4. Hard to anchor in the Detroit cuz everyone is drifting and the current is super strong. I'm sure anchoring would work you'd just get a lot of dirty looks from people drifting.
AMEN, catching a fish is a bonus. A legal length for a meal DOUBLE bonus. Tight lines, wear the PFD and be safe.
I might have missed it in the video Ivo, but what ounce flexi jig are you running? Guessing 1oz? Thanks, great video!
...close...it was 3/4 oz, which is perfect for the river (1/2 oz is o.k. as well, depending on current)
Hay Evo, what about spot locking out there with trolling motor, do you ever do that?
that's exactly how I was anchored :) I was using the spot lock feature
Nice video like usual Ivo. Just wondering how rocky that section of river is? The only limited experience I have with fishing the Maumee River in Ohio is I'd be losing a lot of those jigs because it's very Rocky.
it is very rocky...key is to just touch the rocks and use your rod tip & river current to bounce you off them, and keep you out of snags - a semi-slack line (almost tight line) is important, in order to feel everything going on down there :)
@@thundermistlures Thanks for the tips
Kudos for releasing the bigger fish that keep the future going !!!
Is that the Grand Island bridge in the background?
Peace bridge but the river is closed forever!
Hey Ivo, what type of anchor/weight do you use for anchoring in the upper Niagara? Thanks
lately, i've been using the spot-lock feature on my electric motor - very convenient :)
@@thundermistlures thanks Ivo. Unfortunately my trolling motor doesnt have that! Any advice for an anchor?! 18' aluminum
@@AndrewMcGhie suggest a Danforth style anchor and here is an example for an 18 ft boat: SeaSense Fluke Anchor Super Hook (10 Lb)
A = 24" B = 12" C = 18-1/4" Boat Size: 17 - 20
@@thundermistlures thank you Ivo!!
Has the river cleared up yet after the wind last weekend?
visibility on the upper is clearer than it is on the lower right now :)
R they making a 1/8 flexi jig
...not anytime soon....there is a lot going on in the head of the Flexi Jig so very little room :to go any lighter :)
How do you know when you hit bottom?
with a semi-slack/tight line and using braid, I am able to feel the bottom :)
Any idea where to go fishing in Washington DC?
suggest visiting your local bait shop - they will know and you can pick up bait at the same time :)
Do a video of your factory no ice must be fall hear geese....
What size jig?
3/4 oz, he literally said it out loud :-)
